Whether ultra-compact or large, high-end smartphones benefit from the latest technology and deliver the best performance. Here are the top ten models tested by the lab. In this ranking, Samsung occupies a leading place with its Galaxy S10 and Note 10, as does Huawei with its P30 and Mate 20.

Why buy the best high-end smartphone in 2022?

Low-cost smartphones are on the market, at less than 200 euros, with constantly improved performance and 4G compatible. Why then pay triple or more for high-end? Simply because the flagship models are distinguished both by a sophisticated design, often ultra-thin with larger and better screens, but also by a real versatility. Very powerful, they excel in 3D games, photos, and video and often offer some exclusive features such as wireless charging or facial recognition.

High-end smartphones benefit from the latest technological advances and a recent version of the system that drives them, or even the latest one. Their batteries are usually high-capacity, giving the mobile and endurance beyond the day. The processors chosen by manufacturers are among the newest. In photography, the quality – including in low lights – keeps flying. The vast majority of models in our selection film, for example, in “4K” (3840 x 2160 pixels).

These are not in the top 10 but not necessarily less good

To develop its top 10, the webbspy laboratory performs numerous measurements. Performance, screen or camera… we rate each point individually in order to average. The autonomy of smartphones is one of the points most rewarded by the scale put in place. Un good smartphone should be able to be used without having to recharge it before the end of the day. This explains the absence of some high-end mobiles, yet very efficient.

Some will be surprised not to find in this ranking the Xiaomi Mi 9. The model we tested is sold 499 euros, it does not enter this top exclusively turned to smartphones at more than 500 euros. But know that his excellent rating does not place him very far from the smartphones of this selection.

Finally, still on the market today, Samsung’s Galaxy S9, S9 and Note 9 as well as Huawei’s P20 and P20 Pro remain excellent smartphones and even a very good deal given their falling prices. Because of the rating they were given at the time of their release, they could even be in this top.
